On the way back to Hanzhang Palace, Tao Ziyuan didn't expect to run into Li Xiangqing, but he didn't know if he was waiting in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden on purpose, or if he really happened to pass by.

Tao Ziyuan wanted to pretend not to see it and walk by, but Li Xiangqing stood directly in front of him and blocked the way.

Tao Ziyuan turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the man smile helplessly, "I said, you should pretend to be good." “

Tao Ziyuan stopped, although she didn't feel too much guilt, but people had already said so, and if she pretended not to see it, it would be too much to say, and more importantly, ......

Tao Ziyuan stretched out his hand and plucked the hairpin in his hair and handed it to Li Xiangqing opposite, "This is what you gave me, it's too precious for me to accept." ”

Although Chen Yan said that this thing can protect herself from being hurt by Lingyun again, this thing was given by Li Xiangqing, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Not to mention drawing a clear line, she can't afford such a big favor.

"No?" Li Xiangqing asked, "There's nothing else to tell me?"

Tao Ziyuan nodded, not daring to look up at him.

She always felt that the current situation was a little weird, Li Xiangqing was too good to herself, so good that she felt that she was a sinner. Good enough, she will feel ashamed of Lingyun.

"I gave it to you after I lost a bet with Chen Yan, so I won't take it back, so you can settle it with me. ”

Li Xiangqing said that he had already turned around and left along another road.

Looking at the direction he left, he was probably going somewhere else to walk and wake up the bar.

After walking a few more steps, Tao Ziyuan didn't know if he was too lucky, or if it was a matter of time, the emperor also came over, Tao Ziyuan saluted and stood aside waiting for the emperor to walk by, but he stopped.

To be honest, she didn't want such a lucky thing to happen to her, because soon she would be able to go home and rest.

The emperor separated the others, and as for Chen Yantao Zi Kite, he didn't see his shadow and didn't know where he went.

"Still hold a grudge against me?" the emperor asked.

"Nope. Tao Ziyuan replied quickly.

The Emperor smiled, "If I don't say that, can I know if you like him or not? If you don't like him, I won't give you a marriage." ”

Tao Ziyuan looked up in surprise, just in time to meet the pair of triumphant smiling eyes,

"But I didn't expect that he would rush back from Yundu Mansion overnight, just to ask your mind, so it seems that I have done a good thing. ”

Tao Zikite: "......"

Kneeling outside Weiyang Palace for an hour, she still deeply remembers the uncomfortable feeling, not only physically, but also psychologically.

Now that he actually said in a sentence that it was for his own good, how much heart did she have to believe in such a thing?

When Tao Ziyuan was secretly slandering herself, the emperor asked again, "Are you not afraid that you will really offend me, and I will really let you make him a concubine?"

Tao Ziyuan glanced at him, she really couldn't understand the person in front of her, not like the emperor, nor like Ge Su of the Fengbo Pavilion.

"Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, so naturally he won't. ”

Tao Zi Kite said.

Although this is an answer that even she herself does not believe, it is also the best answer.

The emperor naturally didn't believe it, but he thought it was very interesting, especially when he watched Tao Ziyuan say such a serious compliment that he could hear that was not sincere.

Almost instantly, the temperament of that person's person changed, and he became more relaxed and relaxed, but became serious and stable, more like an emperor.

A sense of alienation, a sense of distance, arises spontaneously.

An invisible gap appeared between the two people, telling Tao Ziyuan what kind of identity and status the person in front of him was.

"You are Madame Chen, don't forget that you are also a candidate for the Captain of the Storm Pavilion. The reason why the Storm Pavilion is the Storm Pavilion is not because of Chen Yan, but because of its own mission. ”

The emperor said lightly, indifferent but wise reminded Tao Ziyuan of her current situation, and seemed to pour a basin of cold water on her in time, which made her sober up a lot. Let her remember that she is the Tiji of the Storm Pavilion.

"No, the minister will obey the teachings. Tao Ziyuan said respectfully.

The emperor walked by, and the attendants behind him passed in front of Tao Ziyuan together, and disappeared into the thick night after a while.

————

Soon, Tao Ziyuan returned to Hanzhang Hall smoothly, and the people in the hall had gradually dispersed, but the envoy was still sitting there, and for some reason Tao Ziyuan always felt that these people were very strange.

Not in terms of appearance, but in the feeling that it is.

The young envoy looked over, the two of them looked at each other, and he raised it as if he was inviting himself to raise a glass and drink together, but Tao Ziyuan couldn't drink here, or her identity couldn't.

The envoy smiled, drank the wine in the cup, I don't know if the wine is too strong, or miss his hometown, the flash of crystal is in the corner of the eye, making people wonder and marvel at his excellent appearance.

Soon, the dinner party was dispersed, originally this was the night banquet of the emperor and the lord, the host was gone, and the others naturally had no need to stay.

As for the ministers and wives who are ready to look at each other, they also have some calculations in their hearts.

Everyone returns with their own gains.

The envoys were to be sent to the post house outside, and it was Chen Yan and Tao Ziyuan who were responsible.

The young envoy was very happy, drank a lot of wine, and was helped into the carriage by others, and by the time he arrived at the inn, the people had already fallen asleep, and the people from the Fengbo Pavilion carried him to the inn.

"See you...... See you ......"

After the envoy got drunk, he kept talking about seeing you, seeing you, Tao Ziyuan didn't know what this meant, and looked at Chen Yan, and it was obvious that the latter didn't know what it was.

Who are you seeing? Maybe it's homesickness, Tao Ziyuan thought.

After completing the task, the envoy arrived at the post house safely, and the two rode their horses in the direction of the Fengbo Pavilion.

Because at the end of the day, Tao Ziyuan inevitably felt a little tired, some back pain on the back of the horse, and a feeling of drowsiness.

"Tired?" Chen asked.

Tao Ziyuan nodded, and Chen Yan said with a smile, "Come with me, I'll be there soon." ”

Tao Ziyuan was puzzled, but Chen Yan looked mysterious, but he took her to an inn.

"......" Tao Ziyuan looked at the inn, and didn't understand what Chen Yan meant.

"Aren't you tired? I'll go back early tomorrow morning to pick up my things. Chen Yan explained with a smile.

Tao Ziyuan really wanted to sleep, and he didn't refuse, so he helped Chen Yan's men get off the horse, and took his hand into the inn, but he didn't expect that all the decorations in this inn could be better than he imagined.

Almost as soon as she entered the room, Tao Ziyuan was so sleepy that she collapsed on the bed, almost forgetting that she still had the makeup on her face that had not been removed, and Chen Yan wiped it off for her.
